Demon King's Repayment - chapter 325

Thousands of sword shadows headed straight toward the blood-red mountains and rivers around them.

In the mountains and rivers, there were endless changes, countless scarlet ghosts crawling out of the semi-illusory painting scroll, sweeping toward Yuan Xiang.

“Are you afraid, Xiang’er?”

“Not afraid, Master. Xiang’er is very powerful, just look at me.”

Thousands of swords broke through the mountains and rivers of blood, and the sword’s cold light charged with murderous resentment

“…” Yu Yao said something at that moment.

Yuan Xiang was dumbfounded, then turned around, “Really, Master?”

The stone statue in front of her faintly changed and turned into the figure of the master. He nodded and smiled at her.

The dark deep sea disappeared at that moment, the scarlet ghosts, the rotten head master, and the gentle master all disappeared without a trace, and there was only an endless whiteness in front of her.

Yuan Xiang had only seen that kind of world not long ago, and it belonged to Patriarch Sanjun’s illusion .

Sure enough, in that pure white and flawless world, sat a sharp-eyed little boy.

“That person is proficient in my technique. He promised me that he would devote his life to disperse the demons, divide the two worlds, and strive to continue my way in the world. So I passed on the eternal life pill legacy to him, thinking he would be the heir to my mantle. But now that I look at him, he has fallen into the evil way,” the little boy muttered to himself.

Yuan Xiang didn’t understand why he suddenly came to her on the battlefield. She was worried about the master facing the enemy alone, and shouted, “Sanjun Patriarch!”

“In the past, I saw the chaos in the world, the world could not bear the harassment of demons, and was struggling to survive. I couldn’t bear it in my heart, so I devoted my life to dividing the two worlds between humans and demons to make everything look orderly.” The little boy supported his head, seemingly a bit distressed, “Later, I discovered that as long as there is still Qi in the world, there would always be new demons and ghosts born in the wilderness. So I listened to the believers and refined the eternal life pill to trade with a demon with eternal Qi. He was asked to stay in the deep sea to hold the spiritual cave. So far, the Qi would no longer leak out, and the foundation of the Qi in the world had been cut off.”

He raised his head to look at Yuan Xiang, “This way the humans and demons don’t disturb each other, and each gets what they want, shouldn’t everyone be happy?”

Yuan Xiang looked at him and did not directly answer that question, “In my hometown, there used to be a grassland where the wild animals fed on the weak rabbits. The rabbits struggled to survive in the crisis. Later, some people couldn’t bear it and hunted the wild animals. Do you know what happened in the end?”

“Naturally, those gentle animals would be able to live at ease since then.”

“The situation may be different from what you think. Although it sounds cruel, the rabbits quickly began to overbreed without natural enemies. The grass was eaten up and it was difficult to regenerate and it gradually turned into a desert. The rabbits gradually became less due to starvation.”

The little boy supported his chin with one hand, “This story is novel, but I think you want to help your master, so you use such extreme words.”

“I just think that many things in this world have their reasons. If you don’t have doubts in your heart, you won’t invite me in today, right?” Yuan Xiang said, “You completely cut off the Qi, and want the demons in the world to disappear. But human beings will no longer have a way to practice. In my opinion, this is not necessarily a good thing.”

Patriarch Sanjun remained silent.

Facing God, Yuan Xiang frankly stated the thoughts that had been lingering in her heart, “You probably also know that I came here from the future world.”

“The world I was born in was a thousand years later. For many demons, it is not a long time. But humans at that time had completely forgotten the existence of demons.”

Yuan Xiang recalled the world she had lived in. Although almost twenty years had passed, she was still in a trance, not knowing that that world was the real destination. She didn’t know if she was right, she just compared her current life and carefully recalled the busy and monotonous days, and felt regretful in her heart. It was regrettable that humans became a single intelligent creature in that time and space and lost such a dreamy and colorful world.

“There, we thought that we are the masters of the world, and we no longer had awe of everything in the world, and began looting and destroying our own homes without restraint. To put it hard, when I was born, the over-expanded population had caused a shortage of space and resources for human survival.”

The little boy suddenly laughed, “You are wrong. Although I can’t see the future world, the land I left to the floating world is more than thousands of miles. How can a small number of human beings have limited resources?”

This time it was Yuan Xiang’s turn to stop speaking. Even God was not omnipotent, and he may not be able to imagine what direction the human race would eventually go.

Sanjun observed Yuan Xiang for a long while, “Are you for real? It’s only a thousand years?”

Yuan Xiang bowed to God, “I assure you that what I said today is what I think in my heart, not just for my master. Personally, I like the world today, which is rich and colorful. Humans here have the ability to communicate with the world and understand nature at different levels.”

“Really?” The little boy sat cross-legged and touched his chin, “You go back first, let me think about it.”
